Digital living at your finger-tips

In the upscale real estate market, not all homes are created equal; some are more equal than the others. With some of the units at roofing level, work has reached appreciable level at Disney Court, located in Lekki Phase One.

Disney Court comprises “smart houses with their own intelligence, programmed to function just the way you like and want it to be”.

It is a comprehensive new campaign that offers lifestyle homes in an exclusive serviced estate with state-of-the-art facilities. These include 3-bedroom and 4 bedroom terrace houses; 4-bedroom penthouses, and 4 & 5 bedroom detached houses.

The estate is designed to be an architectural masterpiece, with strong neighbourhood characteristics and timeless appeal. Disney Court brings the automated concept to luxury living as all an occupier needs to do to obtain various home services is by pressing the appropriate remote control.

The development is being undertaken by the duo of Disney Court Limited and Cacif Properties Limited. Siemens Automation and Drives UK are the smart home technology providers. Zenith Bank Plc is partly financing the project.

DisneyCourt Smart homes are an innovation in the upscale real estate market in Nigeria. The Smart home provides integrated security system; video and voice distribution; audio distribution; digital dimming/mood lighting; blind control; home theatre/surround systems; interactive whole house control screen; hands-free lighting; simulated occupancy; intruder control, etc. The major benefits of having a smart home are: convenience; security; economy; and style.

The managing director/CEO of Disney Court Limited, Mr Ken Omamogho, said they are in the market to add something refreshingly unique and to add a tangible value to exquisite realty. Each unit of the automated home will be exquisitely finished and lavishly equipped with the following:

Smart home system from Siemens and On-Q; master bathroom with jacuzzi and TV; fully-fitted kitchen (with microwave, refrigerator, cooker, extractors fans, etc; 5KVA inverters; luxury wardrobes and bathrooms; access control and CCTV; security entry and exit doors; split A/Cs and TVs in all bedrooms and living areas; smoke detectors / alarm system; one telephone line and PABX system, etc.

To ensure reliable, regular, and stable electricity supply, there will be a dedicated transformer, and two standby generators of appropriate capacity will be provided for the common use of the estate. Each unit will be installed with a 5KVA inverter to ensure seamless changeover of power source. Social activities within the estate will gravitate towards a clubhouse that will have a swimming pool, gymnasium/sauna/spa, laundry services, grocery, private cinema, car hire service, music room, and conference hall.

The development, which is planned for outright disposal, has the following price tags: the 3 bedroom (B/R) terrace at N69 million; 4B/R penthouse at N69 million; 4B/R terrace at N75 million, and the upgrade at N85 million; 4B/R detached at N140m; while the 5-bedroom detached has a price tag of N160 million.
